Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I've never actually been on a road bike. And I don't generally go fast; but making it up ferry hill the first time non-stop was a most satisfying milestone. Getting up big hills without puking is more where I'm at than going really fast down them.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? Hm. Here's a blog post from last spring featuring the Rio: pericat.ca
Most memorable moment on my bike: My partner and I were out on the trails, and had stopped to check the map on my ipod. I was just standing, and a rock under my foot shifted and over I went. All I could think was to make sure the ipod landed safely, so as I was going down, I tossed it onto a clump of grass and moss. Because priorities, y'know.
Most fun ever had on a bike? Riding the local trails is the best! And as it's a sunny day, I'm going to go do that some more.
